We took part in this tour for the convenience of seeing three iconic places in Beijing without having to worry about anything. That's how it was: everything very well organized, an excellent lunch, the guide Gary very knowledgeable and super helpful. A must-do!

Gary is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who made every effort to inform us about the history of the places visited and about China in general. Manoeuvering the crowds of summer can be daunting, but with Gary we just followed along, knowing he would take us to all the best spots. Highly recommended!
We really appreciate your positive feedback! Great praise to Gary for his passion and solid knowledge. Appreciate your strong recommendation. Wish you all the best.
Had a great tour with Gary on a 20hr layover in Beijing. It was a busy 8 hour tour, but the day went fast and learned a lot of history of politics, architecture, and traditions. Gary had the whole thing covered with care from A-Z. Clear meetup instructions, admissions, transpo, group management, food & water.. everything! Thanks Gary & team! Best wishes. G
